Edwin, I was merely thanking Terry for his acknowledgement. No circles , LOL !
Have you seen the schematic for the Boogieman version? I have not . It it clearly has differences from the Alembic DS-5 such as the trim pots ,etc.... We have both seen the Alembic original and have both built such devices and therefore we both know that design and both know the specs and tolerances , agreed.
I am familiar with what I see in both. What are the capacitor ratings in the Boogieman . How far can the trimpots go out of alignment after banging around from transportation etc ...., what are the variables in voltage output? What is the rating in Milliamps to accommodate loads such as Instruments with full LED features . There is no disclosure.
The handwringing is about lack of specifications and disclosure . Like you wrote It's clearly a caveat emptor situation. For me it is not sitting in the corner cowering with fear about frying my electronics LOL,___ Edwin !
It might be prudent to protect those who are LESS familiar with such designs then you and I and to point out concerns and raise questions , both short term and long term and with looking out for others with positive intent . That's where I am coming from Brother ______
